I am off to the home of old school glamour, gold and glitz… Hollywood.

While this is good for future inspirations, for now it means that any online orders placed after today will be handmade and sent out on my return after the 24th February. Check with my stockists if you are desperate for supplies before then!

Planning to take in a wonderful exhibition of swimming pool photography at the Palm Springs Museum, my idea of how things should be…

Simone Lueck‘s advert inviting “fabulous, striking, interesting older woman to pose as glamorous movie star” resulted in a stunning series of photographs, now being exhibited in the UK at the Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool. I love the firm grip on individual glamour all these ladies possess and the sense that the Golden Age of Hollywood still exists. I hope to find it on my trip to LA next week…

The exhibition is curated by the wonderful Martin Parr and is on until 13th March. Read more about it here.
